Take Action

AHEPA Canada is proud to announce that Christos Argiriou was unanimously re-elected as Canadian President of AHEPA. The election took place at the AHEPA National Convention in Atlantic City, NJ.

Brother Christos hails from the Winnipeg Chapter of AHEPA and concluded an effective and memorable first year in office. His first year included multiple trips overseas where he represented the Canadian membership with professionalism and respect. Christos is well known for his relationship building as well as his calm and measured approach to all situations.

In his first act as President for 2018-2019, Christos is asking all members in Canada from all four Orders, to support the AHEPA Family Charitable Foundation of Canada (AFCFC) Greece Fire Relieve Program. Launched just days after the horrific disaster in the Raffina area, the AFCFC will provide tax receipts to Canadians for their donations to this cause.

The AFCFC has a strong history of ensuring that all funds raised reach their intended causes. Not only in Canada, but also for various disaster relief programs for Greece and USA.

“Our philanthropic arm, the AFCFC, will once again offer our members tax deductible receipts for their donations for this cause. Please indicate in the memo section of your check (2018 Fire Relief Fund) so that it can be properly recorded. Please share this with individuals in your Chapters and any individual in Canada who would like to donate” said Argiriou

Founded in 1922 in Atlanta, Georgia, on the principles that undergirded its fight for civil rights and against discrimination, bigotry, and hatred felt at the hands of the Ku Klux Klan, AHEPA is the largest and oldest grassroots association of American citizens of Greek heritage and Philhellenes with more than 400 chapters across the United States, Canada, and Europe.

AHEPA’s mission is to promote the ancient Hellenic ideals of Education, Philanthropy, Civic Responsibility, and Family and Individual Excellence through community service and volunteerism.
